A kitchen remodel is exciting, but it also comes with a long list of decisions. Cabinets, countertops, appliances, lighting, finishes, flooring, hardware and layout all need to work together, and many of those choices are more connected than they may seem.
That is why some of the most important kitchen decisions should happen before anything is ordered or installed.
Shopping for new appliances can get overwhelming fast. Refrigerators, ranges, microwaves, dishwashers, washers and dryers come with more features than ever before. Some can make everyday life noticeably easier. Others may sound impressive but might not be worth the extra cost for the way you live.
So, which appliance features are actually worth paying for?
Mahlander’s is excited to once again be part of the Sioux Empire Home Show™, hosted by the Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire. The event is a long-standing tradition for the Sioux Falls appliance and lighting retailer — and a favorite among homeowners planning remodels, builds, or simple upgrades.
The holidays arrive fast — suddenly you’re planning menus, rearranging fridge shelves, and juggling a dozen dishes at once. A well-designed kitchen matters, but today’s smart, WiFi-enabled appliances take “holiday-ready” to an entirely new level.
When it comes to lighting your home, efficiency and style don’t have to be at odds. As incandescent bulbs phase out, eco-friendly options are no longer just a trend: they’re the standard. The electrical industry has embraced this shift, offering bulbs and fixtures that reduce energy usage while elevating your home’s design.

Wall sconces might just be the unsung heroes of home lighting. Mounted directly to the wall, they’re functional, flexible, and fabulous — adding both light and style in spots where other fixtures fall short.
Longer days, warmer evenings, and time spent outside — summer is when our homes’ outdoor spaces truly come to life! Whether you’re relaxing on the porch or simply arriving home after dark, the right lighting transforms the experience.
The kitchen has long been considered the heart of the home, but for many, it’s also the heart of the party. Whether you’re hosting a family gathering, an impromptu happy hour, or a holiday dinner, your kitchen sets the stage for connection and comfort.
At Mahlander’s, we believe an entertainer’s kitchen should be both functional and fabulous, and that means more than choosing pretty fixtures or sleek appliances. It means building a thoughtful, well-designed plan that makes your space work beautifully for everyday life and entertaining.
As 2024 winds to a close, we at Mahlander’s Appliance & Lighting are taking a moment to celebrate the milestones and accomplishments that made this year one to remember. From keeping pace with cutting-edge technology to building relationships and giving back to our community, here’s a look at the strides we’ve made together.
